Devin Mullins beaead5256 change Dmenu functions to return IO/X (Maybe String)
dmenu exits with code 1 when you hit Escape, and I wanna create a contrib that
takes advantage of that.

This required changes in four contribs (Commands, DirectoryPrompt, ShellPrompt,
and WorkspaceDir), and might require changes in users' Configs. Also, I'm not
sure some of the changes I made to the client code are very Haskelly. Would
appreciate input there.

-- WorkspaceDir is an extension to set the current directory in a workspace.
--
-- Actually, it sets the current directory in a layout, since there's no way I
-- know of to attach a behavior to a workspace. This means that any terminals
-- (or other programs) pulled up in that workspace (with that layout) will
-- execute in that working directory. Sort of handy, I think.

-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your Config.hs file:
--
-- > import XMonadContrib.WorkspaceDir
-- >
-- > defaultLayouts = map (workspaceDir "~") [ tiled, ... ]
--
-- In keybindings:
--
-- > , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_x ), changeDir defaultXPConfig)
-- %import XMonadContrib.WorkspaceDir
-- %keybind , ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_x ), changeDir defaultXPConfig)
-- %layout -- prepend 'map (workspaceDir "~")' to defaultLayouts definition above,
-- %layout -- just before the list, like the following (don't uncomment next line):
-- %layout -- defaultLayouts = map (workspaceDir "~") [ tiled, ... ]
